I’m just wondering if it’s worth getting used to using Macabacus as I practice excel shortcuts in preparation for an internship with a PE firm. I’ve heard that some banks won’t let you download excel add-ins because of security issues. Is this the same with PE funds or are you usually allowed to download any excel add-in you would like? Thanks
